Reporting abuse and violations

Reporting abuseTo report a video that you believe violates our Uploading Guidelines or Terms and Conditions, please navigate to the video page in question and click the Flag in the bottom right corner of the player (on the black background).

To report a user, please navigate to their profile page and click the Flag icon in the bottom left corner of the page.

Reporting a spammerLet us know about spam accounts by clicking the flag icon at the bottom left corner of their profile page. We want Vimeo to be a fun place for everyone so let us know quickly and we'll remove the offending user from the site. Help us keep Vimeo spam free!

If you don't think a user is a spambot, but they keep giving you unwanted attention in the form of messages or shared videos, you can:

Send that user a message asking them nicely to refrain from contacting you on Vimeo

Reporting copyright infringementIf someone uploads a video that you own to Vimeo without your permission, we treat this as a legal issue. You'll need to submit a formal takedown request on our DMCA page so we can start the process of removing the video.
